I currently have a Nikon D80 digital SLR I bought used-it works with the Nikon lenses I have for my N90 film camera.

I've also used Pentax K1000, Pentax ZX50 film and an Olympus Camedia digital cameras.

I'd suggest going out to a reputable camera shop (or their website) and pricing used digital SLR equipment. I don't need all the video this and that gets packed into today's DSLRs and the deal I got on my D80 and a lens could not be beat!

I began photographing apparatus after I received a 110 Pocket camera for Christmas, 1980. (Older folks will snicker, younger ones will scratch their heads) My first 35mm was a Canon T70 in 1990. I used it for a couple years until someone stole it out of my truck and I bought another one. I upgraded to a Canon EOS Rebel X/Sn in early 2005. My T70 had a lens issue and I was unable to find a replacement lens before an event, so I had to buy another camera. In time I found a lens for the T70 and it still works fine today. I used the X/Sn as my primary and the T70 as a backup until two years ago, when I went digital. There was nothing wrong with either camera, but I could no longer get developing and printing done in my area. I currently shoot a Canon EOS Rebel T3. My only complaint is that I have man hands and they frequently hit the many extra buttons that I don't actually need.
